I hope everyone had a great weekend! Here in Colorado it was a scorcher! Admittedly, Saturday was WAY better than Sunday, and even better than today! Me and the man stayed home amongst air conditioned comfort.

It doesn't help that a good portion of Colorado is on fire. This morning smelled like I slept near a campfire, and woke me up with a start because I thought a field close by was on fire. All in all, not a beautiful, nor a nice day in Colorado today.

At least the butterflies were floating on a bed of bubbles...

Icky bubbles.

I have my manicure that I currently sporting to share with you, however I discovered that I needed a new top coat since my Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat that I bought when I first started doing my own manicures seems to bubble super bad when it dries, I have tried everything to not get it to bubble too! So much so, that it took me 4 hours to do my nails, waiting super long in between layers. I don't know about most people who do at home manicures, but that seems like an excessive amount of time... even when applying a normal dry top coat.

It's a Girl! \0/

For this week's manicure, I used Opi's It's A Girl in two layers, and then placed a fimo purple butterfly on my ring fingernails. :D I really enjoy these accents, and they are super easy as long as you cut them thin enough. I had my boyfriend cut them for me since he has a super steady hand and is good at cutting things.

Freshly painted nails, with purple butterfly accent.

You can order the fimo accent canes on Amazon, and I would suggest obtaining an Xacto knife to cut with. I will put up a tutorial on how to apply fimo nail accents soon!

I ordered someSeche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat from Amazon, which came today. This top coat is all the rage amongst friends and the nail bloggers I follow. I will put a review up later after my second manicure, to give everyone the full idea of why everyone loves it so much!Back story:I have been a nail biter all my life, until recently. I had acrylic nails for almost two years, and since acrylic nails are so hard to bite off, so I seem to have broke my habit that way. Until now, I never really cared about painting my nails, so this is a new experience for me. So far, I love having my natural nails, and wouldn't think of biting them, besides, they are REALLY THICK!!

I hope you have enjoyed the first installment of MMM, look for more in the future, with better pictures!! :D

I have always loved fortune cookie fortunes. This one I received last week.

It's always hard going back to work from a three day weekend, my body says Monday, my mind says, "No, no, no it's Tuesday." My genius boyfriend dubbed today Mouesday. A weird conglomerate of Monday and Tuesday mashed into one. I like it and am rolling with it.

I started a new thing this Mouesday. "Complete 4 tasks" before blogging. I am hoping that this small chunk of tasks every day will help me feel motivated. And writing about it will be even more fun!

My four tasks today were:
- Awesome sock thank you
I got these awesome Nerd socks from someone on Reddit Gifts. However, I was stupid late posting a picture of them, but at least that is done. I can't wait to wear them on my camping trip next Thursday!

- Sign up for next Reddit Gift
Arbitrary day 2012 here we come! \0/ Sign up at Reddit Gift to participate!

- Re-enroll in FAFSA. (YAY! School!)
Pretty self explanatory and less painful than last year.

- Blog plan (It's always good to have a plan, ne?)
I am on the blog planning right now, I really hope everyone enjoys what I have in store!

Tomorrow is going to be yet another busy day at work, and even more busy when I get home! I have a two hour block of Big Android BBQ planning which will take up most of my "Complete 4 tasks" challenge for the night, which means I will have to complete my four tasks on the commute to and from work.

The four tasks for tomorrow are:
- Prepare for blog posts.
- Sign up for Fall classes
- Read S.L. Farrell's A Magic of Twilight (Book one of the Nessantico Cycle)
- Go through past starred articles on Google Reader and figure out which ones are worth saving

I never know what to write in the first post, except for what I want to write in future post. >.<

I am a conglomerate of different things, an artist, an avid music listener, a mom, a student, a great wealth of Android knowledge. I feel the need to share most of these things on here, well except for the Android part, there are too many Android blogs out there anyways. However, I do like to post my screenshots, and I may post them here. :)

I am a mother of a 9 year old daughter, who is the light of my life. I am a single mother, her father made poor decisions in his life that now prevents him from seeing his daughter. As such I refrain from posting images of her on the internet. Such is life.

I am an honor student at a Community College here in Denver, obtaining that degree for Computer Science. Admittedly, the math part is hard, especially Trigonometry, but I never really grasped GEOmetry so I was doomed from the start. I did manage (by the graces of any God you choose) to pass Trig and move on to Calculus. I grasped those concepts, derivatives and such, but once you threw in Trig (which was on a BUNCH of tests,) I felt lost and overwhelmed. Which made me reconsider my major, I am thinking art. Yeah... drawing for a living sounds much better...

I draw anime extremely well, err... should I say the heads. Creepy I know, but I still need to work on those bodies! I really hope that with practice from a class, where I am being graded on how well I draw the human figure, will surely help.

Music. I appreciate all forms of music, however that does not mean I like it. Nor does that mean that someone else has to love my favorite form of music, Dubstep. I love the wobbly rhythms and the way the bass makes me feel, I love the sound of transformers breakdancing, machine parts moving, or podracers zipping by at mind-boggling speeds.

I am a tomboy. However, I have a secret. I am wanting to burst out into super epic feminineness (LOL It's a word now!!) that would make even my own mother cry tears of joy. I want to try to do my hair and keep up on my nails and wear skirts and try makeup. You know, the girly things a girl is supposed to enjoy. :P

Welp, that is me, not bad for a first post I must say. :) I hope to keep up with this one and to never have to do a first post again! :D
